(3.)ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS Proposed federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and specify that, if a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals, then permittees must submit DMRs electronically to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Division anticipates that these regulations will be adopted and is beginning implementation in late 2013. NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part II of this permit (Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits): • Section B. (11.) Signatory Requirements • Section D. (2.) Reporting • Section D. (6.) Records Retention • Section E. (5.) Monitoring Reports 1. Reporting [Supersedes Section D. (2.) and Section E. (5.) (a)l Beginning no later than 90 days from the effective date of this permit, the permittee shall begin reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application. Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. Until such time that the state's eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR), permittees will be required to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state electronically using eDMR and will be required to complete the eDMR submission by printing, signing, and submitting one signed original and a copy of the computer printed eDMR to the following address: NC DENR/ DWR/ Information Processing Unit ATTENTION: Central Files / eDMR 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Page 4 of 7 Permit NC0047091 If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the facility being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband access, then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted and discharge monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3) or alternative forms approved by the Director. Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the mailing address above. Requests for temporary waivers from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements must be submitted in writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the facility would be required under this permit to begin using eDMR. Temporary waivers shall be valid for twelve (12) months and shall thereupon expire. At such time, DMRs shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee re-applies for and is granted a new temporary waiver by the Division. Information on eDMR and application for a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements is found on the following web page: http://portal.nedenr.org/web/wq/admin/bop/ipu/edmr Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due on the last day of the month following the issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility, on the last day of the month following the commencement of discharge. 2.

Describe receiving stream features and pertinent downstream uses: This receiving stream has considerable flow. There is an additional discharge (Carolina Village MHP - NC0063762) located downstream of this facility. General C classification uses downstream. Page Two PART II - DESCRIPTION OF DISCHARGE AND TREATMENT WORKS 1. a. Volume of wastewater and description of wastewater source(s) of each outfall: Outfall 001 —0.04 MGD. Domestic wastewater is treated by the existing contact stabilization WWT facility which includes a bar screen, grit/surge tank followed by primary clarification, aeration, re-aeration, final clarification, chlorination (tablet), dechlorination (tablet), effluent flow measurement, and an aerated sludge holding tank. PART III - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION 1. Regional sewer system availability: A municipal sewer line (City of Concord) is approximately 150—200 ft. from this facility. PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The facility appeared to be adequately treating the wastewater(clear effluent no floatable solids/foam) during the site visit. This facility is prone to flooding which has recently occurred. The blower/motor units and electrical control box have been previously located on an elevated platform to prevent damage from the previous flooding events; however, the remaining treatment plant processes continue to be submerged. The Park Manager (Permittee representative) is in the process of completing all of the City of Concord's requirements for the connection to the City's sewer line. This process has been difficult and costly for the Permittee and additional stipulations still need to be completed. No time- line could be estimated for a completion date. There has been no changes and/or modifications to this facility since the permit was last issued. It is recommended that the subject Permit be renewed as requested.
